“Yn the Heart of the Blue Grass” 


TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY 


1798-1908 


ICH in the history, traditions, and experiences of a hundred years, Transylva- 


nia University, the first institution of higher learning West of the Alleghanies, 


preserver of learning in the pioneer commonwealth, guardian of ideals for 
character and culture, passes her treasures on through Kentucky University to the new 
Transylvania. And with high purpose and strong determination this beneficent institution, fac- 
ing new conditions and equipped to meet new needs, is preparing her sons and daughters 


for larger service to the Commonwealth and the Nation.

of any student guilty of dishonesty. The 
duty, voluntarily assumed, has been faithfully 
executed. Violations of the examination 
pledge have been extremely rare; but in every 
instance the culprit has withdrawn from the 
University without need of faculty action. 
The spirit of truth and honor fostered in the 
examination room pervades every phase of 
student life.

THE HONOR SYSTEM 


SPIRIT of devotion to work, a love of fair play, and a 
high sense of personal honor characterize in an unusual 
degree the students of Transylvania University. To 
them belongs the distinction of introducing into Kentucky the 
Honor System in examinations. Several years ago, in mass 
weeting, they expressed their willingness to relieve the Faculty 
of responsibility for serveillance in examinations and for discipline

TRUE ELOQUENCE 
BP eloquence, indeed, does 


not consist in speech. It can- 

not be brought from far. Labor 

and learning may toil for it, but they 
will toil in vain. 

Words and phases may be mar- 

shaled in every way, but they cannot 

compass it. It must exist in the man,

in the subject, and in the occasion. 
Affected passion, intense expression, 
the pomp of declamation, all may as- 
spire after it, but cannot reach it. It 
comes, if it comes at all, like the out- 
breaking of a fountain from the earth, 
or the bursting forth of volcanic fires, 
with spontaneous, original, native force. 


“We may live without poetry, music and art; 

We may live without conscience, and live 
without heart; 

We may live without friends; we may live 
without books; 

But civilized man cannct live without cooks.

He may live without love,—what is passion 
but pining? 

But where is the man that can live without 

dining?” 


“Now blessings light on him that first 
invented this same sleep! It covers a man 
all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak.

chases all the pleasures of the world, cheap, 
and the balance that sets the king and the 


shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.”
